{"product_id":"mumbets-declaration-of-independence","title":"Mumbet's Declaration of Independence","description":"\"All men are born free and equal.\"\n\nEverybody knows about the Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independence in 1776. But the founders weren't the only ones who believed that everyone had a right to freedom. Mumbet, a Massachusetts enslaved person, believed it too. She longed to be free, but how? Would anyone help her in her fight for freedom? Could she win against the richest man in town?\n\nMumbet was determined to try.\n\nMumbet's Declaration of Independence tells her story for the first time in a picture book biography, and her brave actions set a milestone on the road toward ending slavery in the United States.\n\"The case is fascinating, emphasizing the destructive irony at the heart of the birth of America and making Mumbet an active and savvy architect of her own release, and this is likely to spur much discussion.\" ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0761365893\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ00ABWM_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Woelfle, Gretchen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
